Operator

Good morning, and welcome to Macy's, Inc. Q1 2022 Earnings Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Mike McGuire, Head of Investor Relations. Please, go ahead.

Mike McGuire

Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us to discuss our first quarter 2022 results. As always, with me on the call today are Jeff Gennette, our Chairman and CEO; and Adrian Mitchell, our CFO. Jeff and Adrian have prepared remarks that they'll share. After which, we'll provide time for your questions. Given the time constraints, we ask that participants in the Q&A please limit their questions to one, hopefully, single part question.

Along with our press release from earlier this morning, the slide presentation has been posted on the Investors section of our website, macysinc.com. In addition to information from our prepared remarks, the presentation includes supplementary facts and figures to assist you in your analysis of Macy's.

Also note that unless otherwise noted, the comparisons that we'll speak to this morning will be versus 2021. Comparisons to 2019 are provided where appropriate to best benchmark our performance, given the impact of the pandemic in 2020.

I do have one housekeeping item to share with you this morning. We noted in our earlier press release that on Tuesday, June 7, at 8:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time, Jeff and Adrian will be participating in a fireside chat at the Evercore ISI Consumer and Retail Conference. This event will be webcast live on our Investor Relations website. So please circle the date on your calendars and plan to tune in.
